proved Cooking-Stove, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a front view of my improved cooking-stove. Fig. 2.is a `vertical section of the ne on the line c c, Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a veral transverse section on the line .fr a', Fig.

,5 and Fig. 4 is a detail section ofthe wedgestripslused for connecting 4the cast and. sheet ironsides of the stove. y

Similar lett-ers of reference indicate corresponding parts.

' The-object efr myf'invent-ion is--tofnrnish to the public a @hea-P, Simple, and e'ective cooki1ig-stove,fconstructed in such a manner that the different parts may be easily packed and shipped, to be mounted by anytinsmith, and the parts exposedI to the tire easily replaced. The' oven is placed below the lire-box, and supplied with a steady uniform heat around both sides, baking thereby to the satisfaction of those using the stove. My invention consists in the combination of sheet and cast iron parts in such a manner that the front,`bael r, and top plates are of cast-iron, the side and bottom plates of sheetsiron, the interior parts, also, heilig of sheet and cast iron, and con! nected by wedge strips of sheet or solid iron.

The ilues are arranged so that the draft carries the heat .from t-he fire-box around the ymade by Wedge-strips E, ofsheet or solid iron, as may be preferred, of square shape, fitting into grooves formed by projecting ribs a of the cast-iron plates. Small screw-bolts andhuts b rivet strip E through suitable holes to the east-iron plates, wedging the turned-down rims of the sheet-iron plates firmly between ribs a. A substantialA connection of the body of the stove is thereby obtained, which may fully snstain1the interior parts. Front Aplate A is cast 'with' suitablez apertures for the doors of lire-box, ash-pit, oven, and flue, and also with proper ornamentatom to `present a pleasing exterior.

Rear plate B has apertures for the damper' and insertion of the pipe ,I leading tothe chimney, and top plate i) is open'ovcr the irebox and 4extended beyond the rear plate B `for the purpose ot' giving support to the pipe I, and available space for the placing. of cookl.

ling-vessels and other objects. This extension d is perforated by symmetrical ,ornaments to make the top plate lighter. Suitable moldings at top and bottom parts arecast toK the front and rear plates A and B. The inte.- rior'of. the stove .is also constructed of sheet' and cast iron, the parts exposed to the` fire being of cast-iron, those not directly in contact with vsheet-iron. The re-box F 4is efrranged immediately under top plate C, and is formed of curved tire-plates e, which resten lugs ofplate's A and B, and in recessesot'the slde plates of the ash-pit. They extend sidewise,r under top plate G, so that no fuel, water,

Vor other impurities may fall into the lower part of the stove. The grate f rests also on the recesses of the plates of the ash-pit, and

isV also made of cast-iron. Side platea g, ot ash-pit G, are also of castliron, irreversible,l and riveted by their projecting anges tothe top part of the oven H, snpporting'and 'bracing' thefront and rear plates. Oven H is arranged under ash-pitG, extending almost to the whole width of the stove, and con# structed of sheet-iron. The top part m may' be made of one sheet, and riveted' to thebot ltom sheet n. Below the bottom-a of oveni H are vertical sheets 'K leading obliqnelypi from the rear plate toward the front plate',l

utilize the full amount of heat from the fel.'

Damper-rod l, projecting sdewise, opens and closes the damper at will'.

The castiron plates may be pnekeii ,in

boxes and shipped at less expense to any place, to ,be put up and mounted by a tin-y smith.

vHaving thus described my invention,I alain asnew and desire to sfcure by Lcttirs' Patent` .1. The arrangement of cast-iron plates A,

13, and G,with sheet-metal side and bottom pieces D, substantially as described.

2. Theconnection of plates A B C having ribs a, by Wedge-strips E and bolts b,witl1 sheet-iron sides D, as set forth. y 7
